My thing is baked goods, while a lot of places have a decent bakery...this one is a bit disappointing. Sure they have nice muffins and sweet baked goods, but their basic breads...specifically bagels...especially plain bagels...they don't even carry any bagged 6 pack plain bagels, or barely carry any! And if they did, they would look overcooked and unappetizing! Compared to Pavillions that is up the road a few miles away...their bakery blows this Albertsons bakery away!!! In fact, I'm going to post a positive review on their bakery in a little bit! I hope this Albertsons improves their baked goods...Pavilions is totally showing them up and will now be my go to place for any baked items! Yes! Pavilions baked sweet goods are also way better! read more

Albertsons - No plain bagels in this other basket either - Grocery Near Me - Orange, California

Stopped by to purchase flowers to take our grandmother at the cemetery. Store is clean and organized, but they really need to teach their staff how to provide better customer service. When we went to the checkout the cashier didn't even acknowledge us. She kept talking to another employee. She finally rang up our items, BUT still did not acknowledge us. No good morning, hello, hi or anything. I find that quite rude. By the way her name is Sue. She needs to learn how to smile and be nicer to ALL customers. read more

Default location. If you shop here regularly, it's probably just because it is the default grocery store closest to wherever you live...you probably live in Orange Hills or the canyons and this shopping center is the closest bit of civilization/retail near you. That is why I shopped here and that is the only reason I can see as to why anyone would come here with any regularity. Item selection is poor if you are not into buying mainstream, non-organic, GMO foods. Customer service is absent and borderline rude. Pros: Lots of parking, last stop for groceries, Redbox, quiet in non-peak hours Cons: Customer service, selection, creepy people in the parking lot at night Don't go here unless you have to... read more

I'm writing on my neighborhood Albertsons in the hope corporate will see it. I'm referring to the Albertsons on Chapman and Jamboree in Orange. When the store opened in 1988 I was among the first 50 to walk in the door and got a free bag of groceries. I am totally in support of my local businesses. In the after Christmas holidays a big pot of home made chicken soup for dinner tonight sounded like a plan. Walked into my Albertsons and stopped on other aisles first picking up other ingredients for the soup and other groceries I was in need of. Last went to the meat aisle to get the chicken. In making soup I as well as others use the whole chicken for added flavor. There were no whole chickens in the case. I went to the butcher case where the butchers are and asked for a whole chicken. He said we don't have any. Now why am I taking the time to Yelp review this. This is the 3rd time this year possibly 4th that I've tried to buy a whole chicken at Albertsons and was not able to. On my way to buy my ingredients this morning my first thought was to go to Stater Bros 4 miles away knowing that no doubt they would have whole chickens. I took a chance 1 more time to go the 1/2 mile away local market to support them first. I understand if I was complaining about them not having Beluga caviar or 10lb lobsters I would be petty. We're talking about a chicken. There wasn't even a whole chicken cut up and packaged in the case. I will add before Albertsons merged or partnered with Vons the store offered more of an abundance of produce and many other items. Starting today I will still go to Albertsons if I need something quick that will likely be there but in general I will drive the 4 miles, no big deal, to Stater Bros that I can depend on to be stocked with an abundance of most anything you can think of. Hey who knows they might even have Beluga caviar and 10lb ???? read more

All the times we've taken the streets home from Irvine and passed this Albertsons we finally stopped in! This location is huge!! Me and my mom were blown away when we saw how big this store is! I was able to find things that I wouldn't normally be able to find at usual store! There are 2 points why I can't give them 5 stars :( -No wing bar! I'm an avid wing lover and couldn't find a wing bar!! -Seafood selection is soooo tiny! My mom and ATG love Salmon and they didn't have many pieces and selections of seafood for a big store! My mom bought 4 pieces of fish and the display looked empty after she bought the fish! However, upon checking out at the self serve lanes, a nice cashier was so friendly and helpful to us! I will definitely come back here on the way home! ^_^ read more

What horrible service! Stopped by to grab a lottery ticket, the person at the counter didn't even say a word, just gave me a head nod. I asked for the tickets and he took my money and you guessed it, no thank you. May be it just too difficult to greet you customers an offer a simple thank you? Mr. J Kruger? read more

Sylvia the floral manager was FANTASTIC!!!! My daughters prom was tonight and not even halfway through pictures her corsage fell apart. Stopped in at the floral department in a whim and SYLVIA totally fixed it and refused money. She was a life/prom saver! I tried leaving a survey on Albertsons.com But since I did not have a receipt I could not bypass that part. read more

This review is based solely on the brisket I purchased yesterday. I was in a rush and thought, how bad could a brisket from Albertsons be for the smoking I planned to do the following morning. Well, it's bad...real bad. The brisket in the package looked decent, even had a not too thick fat cap; however, when I started to trim the fat, I noticed that easily 1/2 of the 'meat' was fat. Because I had to split the brisket in order to get it into the smoker, I noticed that over half of the inside was fat. I never would have noticed this if I didn't do a split. When it was all said and done, my 10.3 lb brisket now weighed 5.2 lbs...yes, I weighed it. This store may be fine for 'grocery' items, but not for meat. read more

Been going here for years. But now I have noticed on numerous occasions where employees are not wearing masks. Well, they are wearing them, but either on their chin, or nose is hanging out. I just don't get it. I will go down to other store on Chapman. read more

This review is for their bakery. I had ordered a birthday cake for my son's 1st birthday party and the cake was delicious!!! The party was on Christmas day, but not only did they deliver on time, the cake, cupcakes (also ordered those) and the little cake for the birthday boy were all made with perfection and were ready to be picked up on time. Everyone loved the cake and could tell the ingredients that were used were fresh. It was not too sweet, it was just perfect. Highly recommend this bakery. :) read more

Do not use the savon pharmacy at Albertsons on Chapman and Hewes. The pharmacy manager is the worst! I have had multiple issues with her and will not use this pharmacy again. read more

Compared to the other Albertsons I've been to, this one looks smaller. It only has one entrance. But it's still nice. It has the same offerings as any other Albertsons, but everything just looks more squished together with less open space. They even have soda can art inside like the other ones. It has self checkouts too. read more

Thank you Donny for taking such good care of me and my baby and helping us out quickly while we were in a rush. You and your staff made it quick and easy and I really appreciate it! read more

Always a great experience when I come here. They are always friendly and helpful. Johnny the store director even came to my aid to help carry out a beautiful full sheet cake that their bakery made. The staff here is the best and the store is always clean and organized. Thanks guys! read more

This Albertsons has the best meat department ever. Taylor and Hector have both helped me on numerous occasions. Hector used a rub they have in the back on some meat for me and it came out amazing. I went back in and mentioned it to Taylor and he got a big thing of seasoning for me to purchase. I just finished smoking a tri tip using it, and came out amazing thanks to them. read more

I went to the liquor department to buy some wine and liquor and Guy (the department manager) was very helpful and knowledgeable! They have a wonderful selection of wines to choose from. read more

You might want to ask your cashiers to greet customers at check out and then teach them to say thank you!

I have been going to this supermarket because it is close to where I live. I do not think I will returning. On Monday, I bought some chili. I forgot to look at the expiration date. When I got home, it expired May 2014. It is July right now. The first time I visited this supermarket, I actually saw moldy pre-made pizza dough hanging on the shelf. Gross! Another time I visited, the small red tomatoes were green and fuzzy in the case. I gave it to the produce guy to throw away. And now the chili. I supppose it is my fault that I did not check the date but do supermarkets not check the dates also? How is it possible that something can be a couple of months expired or moldy? read more

This store is THE MOST unfriendly Albertsons! No one smiles, and they actually act surly. I will go out of my to not shop here. Shame on you Albertsons! read more

Don't normally shop at Albertsons, but was in the area and needed to quickly pick up a couple of things for a 4th of July party. Was having trouble finding what I was looking for, so I asked one of the workers. Walter saw my list, and within minutes I had everything. Walter was by far the most helpful, personable, and happy grocery store worker I have ever encountered. He was even the one who bagged my groceries. Walter's service was 5stars for sure, but the overall selection was average at best. read more

24/100 I don't normally shop at Albertsons but this one is on the way so I stopped by to grab something for breakfast. This store is clean and huge. They now bake fresh bagels. It is a perfect way to start the morning with a box of hot fresh baked bagels. The smell that was coming from bakery at 7 A.M. was amazing. I am hooked. My favorite is Cinnamon/raisin and regular. They have great selection of cream cheese to make it a perfect breakfast. On unrelated note, they have great Root Beer "Teddy's." Whenever I buy it, my family swears it is the best they ever tasted. read more

I always have good experience here and I am a regular here. Friendly smiling people all the time ready to help. May be I go at a different part of he day or something but my experience is always excellent. read more

Cheaper Craft beers! Decent selection too. I feel like this place has really stepped up its game over the past couple of months. The employees are friendlier, the place is cleaner... read more

This review specifically is for the bakery. I will let out a little secret. I have been coming to Terri and the rest of the bakery staff for years. They have done some wonderful cakes for several different of my parties. They have done many fun cakes, working with fondant as I would bring them images of what I had in mind read more

Meh, go to the one down chapman across from the Mexican market. Needed help from Cornelius to find an item not on the shelf, couldn't be bothered to scan something with his Telzon 10 ft down an aisle for me "if it ain't there we don't have it". So I found another gal, (young Asian and didn't have a name badge) she asked a cashier and told me "if it's not there we don't have it". Neither scanned the item or checked the back. It's whatever just won't be going there any more. read more

For ten years I have been buying my Passover Seder food items such as the basics like matzo ball soup mix and matzah. To my dismay, there was not one Passover or even Jewish/Kosher item in the store. Aisle three which is supposed to have Kosher items did not have one item! I asked the store manager and all he could say was, "Sorry, we didn't receive any items this year." I said to him how would he feel if there was not one Easter item. I had a full cart of at least $200 worth of food that I told the manager I was leaving behind in the cart and would never set foot in the store again. The manager did not even try to appease me by saying, "Because we are sorry and value your business, here is a gift card on us." So poorly treated and beyond offended. Shame on Albertsons on Jamboree and Champman which mind you is only five miles away from Temple Beth Sholom. read more

Since they took out the self check out stations, remodeled/rearranged everything in the store (so you can't find anything); raised prices and keep temperatures below freezing, it is no longer an enjoyable experience shopping at this Albertsons. Although it has been my local market for many years, I am looking elsewhere. Also, they ought to do something about the "new" Starbucks that they opened in the store--pitiful customer service. Don't forget your overcoat, mittens and earmuffs before entering. So Disappointed!!! read more

I generally like to do most of my shopping at Trader Joe's, but when I just need a couple items, or something that Trader Joe's doesn't carry, then I have really liked coming here--in the past. I say "in the past" because a couple Mondays ago something annoyed me enough that I will most likely avoid coming here when I can. For me, it started going downhill when they took out the self-checkout lanes. Services are just too individualized to take out that option now. Since I used to come in for just a couple items, I found it very convenient not to have to stand in line. When they took those out, I asked them why they did and I was told they wanted their customers to have a more human experience, or something like that. It's a very scripted answer, but I figured maybe they're having problems with shoplifters and/or they have to justify the exorbitant prices they charge since everything is union. You better add some superior quality and customer service. I get that. But you have to understand that extends to everyone in the store. They better be on their game all the time. A couple Mondays ago it was SO HOT that I didn't want to go all the way to Trader Joe's and decided to do more shopping than just two items. Employees stocking in the aisles were very friendly and helped me find items I was looking for, (since things are somewhat being rearranged for a remodel). But when I went to check out, my avocados rang up $1.99 each and I told the cashier the sign said next to them that they were 2 for $3. She immediately got on the phone and told someone to remove the sign like there was some kind of panic. She then proceeded to act like she was doing me a gigantic favor in allowing me to puchase them for what the sign said. It's just a bad business model to set up an adversarial relationship between business and customer, as if I was in the wrong. It would have been better to graciously give me the price that was stated and wait until I left the line to make the call. Or, at least remove the attitude and show with which the call was made. The prices paid in this store, accompanied with attitude, just don't fly with me. It's unfortunate. read more

I have to agree with others who reviewed this place. I did not have a good experience. Not very friendly people. An they are under staffed as well. read more

I bought tilapia from their seafood counter. It was spoiled, and I got food poisoning almost immediately afterwards. I spent the whole rest of my day getting sick. I tried calling their location to let them know, but no one answered the phone any of the many times I tried to call. Who knows how many more people became sick because of this. Absolutely disgusting. Also, this place is very overpriced for what it is. Avoid at all costs. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. Even with remodeling underway they are always there to help. They have better selection of wines compared to other stores. Very convenient for OPA residents. read more

I have gone to this store forever (since it was built), but after the sale of the market, prices have spiraled upward dramatically. I paid $3.89 for 5 lbs. of C&H sugar last week. Ralphs sells the same thing for a full dollar cheaper, and has an off brand for $1.77. Ralph's is cheaper on just about everything, so I now shop at the Ralph's in Foothill Ranch. Sort of sad as I have known some of the employees for years. Just about everyone I know has switched from this market to another. It's too bad, too. It's clean and well stocked. read more

They are actually open until 11:00pm! I love this Albertsons... Friendly staff and very clean. The meat area does not smell - which is a good thing. read more

Been coming here for YEARS. ... I feel happy when I walk in and think the Staff is Great. Some folks have been here forever, some have turned over, doesn't matter, this place is Home. read more
